ESPN - Washington Redskins great "Slingin' Sammy" Baugh dead at 94 (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3776838)

R.I.P, did things that'll never be repeated such as leading the league in passing, punting and interceptions in 1 season

* threw 6 td's in a game twice

* 51.4 punting average in 1940 is still a record

* still hold the redskins career passing td record with 187

* completion pct in a season with 70.3%

* 31 career interceptions are 3rd on the team list

RIP

He seemed to have lived a full life though, 94 is a pretty good age - good stats there...6 TD's per game in 2 games is impressive.

R.I.P

his passing stats are amazing when you think about, in his era running was done nearly every time.
